Chinese Type 53 Carbine, Cal. 7.62x54R

*Please Note!! Many of our pictures are stock photos provided to us by the manufacturer and do not necessarily
represent the actual item being purchased. Please verify this picture accurately reflects the product described
by the title and description on this page before you place your order.

Century once again offers you rare examples of Sino-Soviet cooperation
from a bygone era! The Type 53 is a copy of the famous Russian M44
carbine, and like its predecessor is chambered in 7.62x54R. We were able
to locate a cache of these carbines where they have been preserved for
decades just waiting to be re-issued. Needless to say - these won't be
around forever. If you are a collector of Mosin-Nagants, this is a
fantastic opportunity to add a hard-to-find carbine to your collection. 5
rd. integral mag. Barrel: 20.25", Overall: 40", Weight: 9 lbs.
Condition: Good.

These were great deals from buds. Unfortunately #44 put a stop to one of our American liberties. The right to by foreign surplus. The good times of degreasing and tricking out the type 53 were projects that my son and i had done a few times. Hopefully #45 can put an end to the ban limitation on foreign surplus limit excuses.

As expected, beat up pretty bad, dirty, cracked stock. But after a clean-up and repair, a real battlefield relic. What stories this rifle could tell.

I bought two of these from Bud's. Both of the barrels were pretty much shot out and resulted in keyholing at 100 yards.One had a major scratch in the chamber, preventing me from chambering a round. The finish on both was very rough, no accessories and lots of cosmolene. Neither was what you would call a shooter. Have sold both now.

The defects weren't obvious on receipt. Only after they were stripped and cleaned. I probably should have tried to return them... Oh well.

I would just go with a Soviet M44 were I to do this again. While you might find a gem in the rough, the odds are not always in your favor.

I do have a Mosin 91/30, but it's a very different critter from these mutts.

The wood looks like it's been dragged through a few rice paddies, but the metal is all good. Cleaned it up and took it to the range with my Mosin and a box of ammo. Kicks like a mule, making the Mosin feel like a .22 in comparison. The old iron sights are good, and it got a few of the older folks come over to take a look. A good time for very few dollars! Once again, Thanks, Bud's!
